Black Tuesday (1954).Hugo Fregonese’s best films are fueled by desperation, a clean and potent but highly flammable form of energy. Just as fight-or-flight adrenaline sharpens our senses and reflexes, his filmmaking reaches heights of rigor and intensity when his characters are in the tightest spots—locked up, on the run, or under siege. Often facing death, they are also sentenced for life to be themselves: fate in his films is not a capricious external force but an expression of character. As a pensive Jack the Ripper says in Man in the Attic (1953), “There are no criminals. There are only people doing what they must do because they are who they are.”But who was Hugo Fregonese?

I’ve seen a fair few of this type of sub-genre show now, and honestly, this series is the one that I can’t watch alone at night. I made the mistake of doing that with the series premiere last year, and am really glad I didn’t with this season opener.

Time for your weekly dose of the paranormal as we have sneak peeks of next week's episodes of "Destination Truth", "Haunted Highway", and "Paranormal Witness" on Syfy.

About "Destination Truth" Season 5:

Following an incredible season of expeditions, including a voyage to Antarctica and a live episode in Ireland, world traveler Josh Gates will once again journey to the farthest corners of the earth to bring viewers all-new adventures on Syfy’s "Destination Truth". In Season 5 Josh and his team will lead viewers into a remote Transylvanian village on a hunt for vampires, explore the reportedly haunted Mayan ruins of Tikal in Guatemala, and descend into one of the world’s biggest caves in the jungles of Vietnam to search for phantoms. They'll also journey to Kazakhstan (a "Destination Truth" first). At the overwhelming request of fans, the team will also return to Romania for a return visit to a haunted forest,...

You don’t have to believe in ghosts or entities or other similar phenomena to enjoy Paranormal Witness. This viewer has never experienced anything remotely resembling paranormal activity but still had a good time with the show, debuting on Wednesday, August 8th on Syfy.

Based on eyewitness testimony and incorporating a mix of interviews and reenactments, the second season’s first episode is entitled “Man in the Attic.”

In 1988, Jackie Hernandez was a pregnant young mother in California recently separated from her husband. Needing a place of her own, she rented a house for her and her young son to live in. She was a college student at the time and spent a lot of time at home. About a month after moving in, she started hearing strange knocking sounds.
